Interesting Shipping Rule Requested

[BossHoss]

I ship via first class or priority mail (depending on the weight of the item)and the cost is $4.00 for the 1st item, add $2.00 for each additional item.

Overnight express mail is available $18.00

Overseas shipping is $6.00 first item, add $2.00 each additional item.

(UPS shipping is not available except for tack stores who order via fax)

How on earth do I configure the shipping method & rules for this? I need a logical option for "First Item = $4, then Each Additional Item = +$2" .. and it needs to be an automatic option..everything I tried allowed the customer to select the $2 over the $4 rule..not $6 total.

How do I have the system toggle back & forth depending on countries?

BTW...vs 1.1.0 works much better on a Mac now! I am keeping a log though of different issues I'm finding.

I would like to second a need for this type of rule.

I don't think you can do this w v1.1.0. Do you want me to move it to Requests?

Thanks,

What i think is needed is like you have it add multiple OPTIONS, have it allow for multiple rules be applied..so you build the SQL statement from blocks of logic.

For instance if the country is not USA but sale is <$40, then make shipment = $6 ..if the country is US an sale is <$40 then make shipment $4. ..if sale >$40 then sale is $8 and $6 respectively.

The rules need further development...or some more investigation into how to make them work for these kind of requests.

yes I guess this is now a request.

I think this can be addressed if under RULES you allow for TWO operators (second being optional)..

so you can select two conditions to check for giving even more flexibility to the rules application.

APPLY WHEN: Country
OPERATOR: Is not
VALUE: USA

BOOLEAN: AND

APPLY WHEN: Order Total
OPERATOR: Is Less than
VALUE: 40

COST: 6

PRIORITY: 1


*BOOLEAN...AND / OR / OMIT (as in neglect second condition)

We will most likey do something similar, but allow you to add as many extra conditions as you want.

Hello,

Just purchased the cart and getting familiar with it. I like the ease of functionality very much!

My client has the exact same requirement. They have two different shipping costs based on these criteria:

For USA:
If price is 0 - 25, shipping is $7
25-65, shipping is 10,
etc

For Other Countries:
If price is 0 - 25, shipping is $15
25-65, shipping is $18
etc

Is there any way I can kluge this? I really would like to get this functionality somehow.

Thanks for a great product!

Hi,

There is no quick fix for this, unfortunately.

Thanks,

I haven't looked further but if the SQL statement is stored in an SQL table, then we could edit the statement to account for some other catch right? all we are adding is a "AND price>$7" type addition to the rule created by the software?

I'm trying to avoid suggesting hack the software and just manually hack a SQL statement in the table.
